Chapter 90 Who is this person from?
Chapter 90 What is this man’s background?
The official ordered him to go outside the court to check. He saw a group of people wearing student uniforms surrounding the Jingzhao Yin Mansion Office, shouting loudly in protest, and a group of common people watching the excitement. , and the noise was very loud.
The officer outside held up a long stick to block the way in. These people did not rush in, but they were all agitated, and it seemed that the situation was about to cause a conflict.
After a quick glance, he turned back to the lobby and whispered a few words in Jing Zhaoyin's ear.
Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin frowned. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Su Mingjue and said,
"You are a student from the south?"
Su Mingjue was stunned. Does this student's identity have anything to do with this matter?
He chuckled, could it be his? It's unlikely that his identity was exposed
. After all, if he was the legitimate son of the King of Jinling, the people above him would have apologized to him kindly and then started to get involved. After all, Su Shiqian was also a famous king with a different surname.
He lowered his eyes and responded: "Yes."
After receiving a positive reply, Jing Zhaoyin was silent for a long time, as if this situation was quite difficult for him.
A woman among the people complaining saw the sudden change in the limelight, and for some unknown reason, she cried again:
"Sir, my husband is still lying at home. If you don't believe it, you can send a widower to verify it."
She said As he spoke, tears flowed out: "My husband, poor man, was in his prime, but he died at a young age because he misbelieved the news in Xiaoxin magazine and bought the fake medicine."
"Whew. "...My husband's life is so miserable..."
"It's this scoundrel who does things without conscience, making us trust others and risking our lives."
"Yes, the head of my family also suffers from this ." We deceived and confessed ourselves. Your Excellency, you have to make the decision for us!"
All of a sudden, several complainants in the hall were crying and denounced Su Mingjue as a profiteer.
Su Mingjue stood there, his mind racing rapidly. It seemed that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
Originally, he thought this was just an ordinary copycat magazine trying to steal his small salary, falsely advertising and selling defective products.
But now it seems that there are some unknown forces behind the scenes that are promoting the development of things, and there are even faint signs of getting bigger and bigger.
Su Mingjue quickly analyzed that the problem with the copycat magazine itself was the root cause of the development of the matter. Why did so many people gather to complain in a short period of time? The
first thing Su Mingjue thought of was the peer study. If he fell, they would naturally benefit from it and use it. It should only be an attack on him.
If he heard correctly, the voice that just came from outside was mixed with some words about the injustice of the Northern faction.
Su Mingjue felt for a moment that this matter might not be so easy to get out of. Jing
Zhaoyin, who was sitting on it, was thinking for a while. At this time, he didn't care whether the other party should be polite or not, and asked directly: "Su Mingjue, do you have anything to say about the lawsuit against the person involved?"
Su Mingjue paused for a moment. He said: "Sir, the student suspects that there is news published in other study halls imitating my magazine. I hereby request to see the evidence provided by the accuser."
Jing Zhaoyin nodded and motioned to the master beside him: "Yes."
Then the master handed the magazine they presented to Su Mingjue.
Su Mingjue took it and examined it carefully. She didn't know what it was, and was shocked when she saw it.
He originally thought that if the contents of the magazine were different, he could point out that what the other person saw was a fake.
Unexpectedly, the magazine I got was not only 100% similar to the one published by his family, but it was also 80% or 90% similar.
From the typesetting to the text content, from the quality of the paper to the date marked on it, everything is the same.
According to modern terms, this is an extremely high imitation of a low-paying magazine.
Su Mingjue was secretly shocked. He had underestimated the enemy and was careless.
He used to only think that the other party might be a high-imitation "Xiaoxin Magazine", but now it seems that except for the advertisements, everything else is a one-to-one copy.
Being able to copy it in a short period of time and publish it on the same day can only mean that there is a mole in his study.
But in this situation, even if he had this suspicion, he couldn't say it out loud. After all, speaking out without evidence would just be a blank excuse, the kind that wouldn't make a sound even if he fell into the water.
He thought deeply and responded: "The content of this magazine is indeed very similar to the magazine published in our study, but the students definitely did not publish the news about this fake medicine. You can go to Shengji Study to retrieve the magazine of the same day to find out the situation "
Jing Zhaoyin looked at the master after hearing this, "Send someone to Shengji's study to retrieve the magazine for the same day."
The master nodded, and then led a few people out of the lobby.
Jing Zhaoyin was in Beishi, not far from Chunfeng Street. It didn't take long for the master to return to the lobby through the side door. When Jing
Zhaoyin saw someone coming back, he said, "Now that the physical evidence has been retrieved, please present it!"
Upon hearing this, the master bowed his hands and said, "My lord, I did not find the magazine mentioned by the defendant in Shengji's study."
Zhaoyin said in a deep voice: "What's the reason?"
The master said: "The waiter in the study said that this magazine sells well. Basically, it was sold on the same day. There is no one left."
The magazine in question was published a few days ago. Su Mingjue was also surprised that there was nothing left.
Just in case, he had specially asked the people in the shop to keep a backup copy and not sell it, but it was obvious that these people did not listen to his words.
Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin turned his attention to Su Mingjue and said, "Do you have anything to add to what Master said?"
Su Mingjue gritted his teeth and said, "The publication of these magazines was all planned by me. I still have some in my house before I published them. The manuscript, this can prove it for me."
Jing Zhaoyin sat above the Mingtang. After hearing this, he said solemnly: "Although what you said can prove that you planned it, after all, it is not officially published, it is just a manuscript and cannot be used as a submission. "Do you have any other evidence?"
Su Mingjue was in trouble for a while. It was not difficult to prove his innocence, as long as he could find a genuine small salary magazine sold on the same day, but what was difficult to do now was He didn't know where to find such a magazine.
He thought for a while, maybe he could only start with the people who often bought magazines from him. He took a sip and spoke honestly.
A clear and slightly childish voice came from outside the hall, "I have the magazines for sale that day, I can testify."
Su Mingjue looked back and saw that Lu Shaoqing had arrived at some unknown time, holding a magazine high in his hand and walking out of the hall. Go inside.
When Jing Zhaoyin saw someone trespassing in the Mingtang, he wanted to scold him, but as the figure got closer and closer, he swallowed what he was about to say.
Why did the younger brother of Dali Temple Qing Lu Shaoyu suddenly come, bringing with him the legitimate son of the Minister of Hubu and the second son of the Minister of Rites?
When Jing Zhaoyin saw the arrival of these noble disciples, his already troubled mind became even more troubled.
I have dealt with them a lot in the past few years, and although I haven't done anything serious, they are not easy to fool.
What is the origin of Su Mingjue?
How can a mere student have such a good relationship with these people?
